Italian Chicken Pasta

by

 


Italian Chicken Pasta 😋 😍Don't Lose This Recipe 

Ingredients


For cooking chicken:


4 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts (or 2 thick ones, halved


horizontally and paper towel dried)


½ cup flour


1 teaspoon salt


¼ teaspoon black pepper


1 teaspoon garlic powder

2 scallions chopped


2 small tomatoes diced


1 tablespoon flour


1 cup heavy cream


1 cup white wine


½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded



1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning


½ teaspoon salt more to taste


¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation


PREPARING CHICKEN BREASTS:

Make sure to cut chicken breasts

horizontally

to make them thin. Or, use thin chicken breasts to begin with. Paper towel dry the chicken.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Stir well to blend. Using a fork or tongs, coat the chicken breasts in the flour mixture by pressing into the mixture with tongs and then flipping the chicken over to coat the other side. Set aside.

COOKING CHICKEN BREASTS: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, place flour coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, turning once between cooking, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.



SAUCE: Add butter, diced yellow onion and minced garlic cloves to pan. Cook on medium high until onions and garlic are translucent, about 2 minutes. Next add chopped scallions and tomatoes. Add 1 tablespoon flour to pan and whisk to combine.


Now add heavy cream, wine, Italian Seasoning, salt and red pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a simmering point and then add ½ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Use a whisk or a wooden spoon and mix it in until you have a smooth mixture.

COOKING PASTA according to your package instructions in salty water. I like pasta that is neither too hard nor too soft, so I always cook it Al Dente. Drain, but do not rinse.

FINAL ASSEMBLY: Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine on low heat for 2-4 minutes. Taste and add salt, if needed. Return chicken to skillet on top of the pasta and allow it to warm up for an additional 5 minutes.

Garlic Butter Steak and Potatoes Skillet

by


 INGREDIENTS:


2-4 small steak slices


Salt and pepper to taste


Garlic powder to taste


1 tablespoon of olive oil


2-4 pounds small potatoes, diced


2-6 tablespoons salted butter, soft enough to mash with a fork, 1 tablespoon for each slice, plus 2 tablespoons for the potatoes


2 teaspoons minced garlic


1 teaspoon of dried Italian herb blend


1 tsp fresh thyme


1 tablespoon of freshly minced parsley


DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven 400 degrees. In bowl, combine the butter, garlic, and dried herbs and set aside. Season the steaks generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.


Place the skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with oil. Brown the steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Transfer to a plate and set aside.


Add the potatoes to the skillet, season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until browned. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and return the steaks to the other side of the skillet.


Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are forked tender and the steak is cooked to your preferred degree of doneness.


Immediately out of the oven, spread a little garlic butter on each steak and the rest on the potatoes and let it melt over the food before flipping the potatoes to coat with the butter and topping them with chopped thyme and parsley before serving.


Enjoy!!

Seafood Loaded Potato Pan

by

 


Ingredients


3 lb peeled shrimp (thawed)

3 lb smoked sausage (sliced into small round pieces)

3 lb small red potatoes (cut into small pieces)

1 large Vidalia onion (cut into quarters and then smaller portions, pulled each layer apart into pieces)

3 cups water

½ – ¾ cup Louisiana Crawfish Boil

Parsley

(Crab Meat and Thawed Crawfish are Optional)

Seafood Sauce Ingredients

2 cans  cream of celery soup

4 – 6 ounces of Velveeta Cheese, cut into small cubes

¾ cup milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Fry down sausage on a medium to low heat until browned and then drain out grease.

Fill pot with 3 cups of water and pour in crawfish boil.

Bring water to a boil and boil potatoes and onions until potatoes are soft (but not mushy).

Once potatoes are done, turn off heat and add the shrimp and crawfish (if used), and stir in order to keep shrimp under broth (shrimp and crawfish will cook within 2 ½ minutes) Keep in mind that the longer you keep the onions, potatoes and shrimp in the boil, the spicier they will be.

If you are adding crab, I suggest you keep it separate and heat it in a small skillet with a dash of Old Bay, then place it on the bottom of the pan before placing the cooked sausage on the pan.

Place sausage and crab meat on the bottom of the pa

Strain the boil of shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, and onions.


Once strained place the boiled shrimp, crawfish, potatoes, and onion on top of the sausage and crab.


Making the Sauce


On a medium to low heat, pour the two cans of cream of celery soup into a pot, and add the Velveeta cubes.


Slowly add in ¾ cup of Milk while cooking the soup and cheese down (Take your time, you don’t want to rush the sauce and scorch it – Keep it a thick consistency, try not to let it get too runny)


Once the cheese is melted, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for two minutes.


After two minutes, spoon the sauce over the pan of seafood and bake in oven at 400 degrees for fifteen (15) minutes.


Garnish with parsley


Serve with hot garlic bread or butter rolls
